Chapter 4 Shock
Tang Hongsheng, who had just replied to his mood, felt very confused when he saw Zhao Shoufu's attitude towards Xiao Minggan was obviously respectful: Could it be that Xiao Minggan is a rich child in this village? But shouldn't this village chief be the highest-ranking person in this village?
"Okay, after breakfast, I'll come to see you again." Xiao Minggan said.
"Ah! That's great. I'll come after dinner. The sir must tell Erniu what's happening outside." Song Erniu, who was in Xiao Minggan's arms, clapped happily.
"Of course, I will definitely tell my little savior about what's happening outside." Tang Hongsheng said with a smile.
"Minggan, haven't you ever wanted to know what's happening outside for a long time? You might as well have breakfast together at my house." Zhao Shoufu insisted.
"No, Uncle Shoufu. I'd better go back so that my mother won't worry."
"That's right, then go back here after dinner."
"Um!"
Afterwards, everyone went back to their homes. Watching Xiao Minggan leave, Tang Hongsheng asked in confusion:
"Captain Zhao, is this child the child of a wealthy family in your village? It seems that you are very respectful to him?"
"No, he is just a child from an ordinary family in our village. And his father was killed by pirates before he was born." Looking at Xiao Minggan, Zhao Shoufu replied with a smile.
"Then why are you so respectful to him?" Tang Hongsheng became even more confused.
"Mr. Tang, this child is very amazing! If you don't talk about anything else, just talking about his ability to farm, it is very amazing!"
"Oh! What farming skills do such a young child have?" Tang Hongsheng said disbelief.
"Haha! Mr. Tang, don't believe it. This child has been helping to farm since he was five years old. At the beginning, everyone didn't believe that he could grow a good land. Even his mother didn't let him farm, thinking that he was making trouble. But who would have thought that he had opened a piece of land of one acre of size and planted by himself.
In this way, everyone stopped talking about it, just pretending that the child wanted to be fresh. Although he saw that his rice was sparse and dried for a day or two, and he also used some fertilization of beans, bean roots, etc., which made people feel troublesome. However, the child has always been very independent and very stubborn, so everyone let him go.
But what he didn't expect was that his harvest in the small land reached three and a half stones in the season, and the next year it exceeded four and a half stones. Moreover, the land was getting fatter and fatter." Zhao Shoufu said in amazement.
"So later, the people in the village learned to farm. He often taught everyone how to ferment green manure, how to plough the land to deep, how to control the density of rice planting, and told everyone that the water in the dry rice fields was to prevent the rice from rotting and getting sick, etc.
Mr. Tang, you don’t know that the yield of each field in our village has changed from two stones to more than four and a half stones. Two seasons a year, a family of five or six people can eat four or five acres of land, and there are still some left. You know, two years ago, the village had two meals a day, but now it has been changed to three meals a day.” Zhao Shoufu said with a happy smile.
Hearing this, Tang Hongsheng's shock could no longer be expressed in words.
What does it mean to have a yield of more than four and a half stones? As a small wealthy family from a rural family in Zhejiang, Tang Hongsheng knew very much about Zhejiang's rice yield.
As the granary of the Ming Dynasty, Zhejiang can be said to have fertile land. The yield per unit of grain is at the top in the country.
But even so, Zhejiang's excellent fertile fields yield only about four stones per unit. And God has to open his eyes and have to be in good weather that year.
But here is generally high yield. Could it be that the land on Dongfan Island is so fertile? Moreover, the people on Dongfan Island do not need to pay taxes, so their lives are extremely rich!
"There is more than this unusual thing about this child. Sir, do you think our village is very clean and tidy?" Zhao Shoufu asked with some show off. At this time, the two of them were almost at Zhao Shoufu's house.
"Your village is indeed very tidy, and the houses, roads, etc. are also very organized. It is much better than the best village I have ever seen." Along the way, Tang Hongsheng found that the environment of this small village was so clean that it was unbelievable.
In the past, no matter how rich you see the rural areas, you can always see dead branches and leaves on the ground, cows and sheep manure, etc. When it is hot, there is always a faint smell of livestock manure floating in the air.
But it is very different here. The air only has the fragrance of grass and wild flowers that make people feel relaxed and happy, and the faint smell of country soil.
"Two or three years ago, our village was not as good as it is now. It was messy everywhere, and livestock manure could be seen everywhere. However, under Mingqian's arrangement, the mess of grass and leaves were removed and fertilized, and everyone was allowed to concentrate human and animal manure. In this way, the land had fertilizer and the village was much cleaner.
And, Mr. Hong, do you know? The activity center just now was built by Ming Qian and a group of kids. Now it is the best house in the village. By the way, our house is much stronger and more beautiful than before."
"It's really a blessing for your village to have this child!" Tang Hongsheng couldn't help but be amazed after hearing so many things.
"That's it! It's clear that kid's ability is far more than that. You will understand in the future. Now that I'm at my house, I'll have dinner first." Zhao Shoufu pushed open the gate of his own courtyard and shouted: "Damn, is the breakfast ready for me? Mr. is here."
After breakfast, Tang Hongsheng, led by the village chief's son Zhao Haisheng, returned to the quaint and atmospheric activity center.
Seeing the increasing number of children coming ahead, and the more lively they were, Tang Hongsheng was extremely curious.
A page of autumn is known. All kinds of different actions than ordinary people and very effective fully demonstrate that the child named Xiao Mingqian is so different. If he were in the mainland, this child would have long been a well-known prodigy.
After inquiring in the morning, Tang Hongsheng became more and more interested in Xiao Mingqian. Making high grain yields, creating such excellent buildings, excellent management skills, and many useful inventions are just aspects of the significant effect made by this child.
But this is obviously not all the manifestation of this child's talent. There are also some aspects that the villagers still cannot see, such as training children in the village. In the eyes of the villagers, this is just to make their children stronger, and at most it is to make adults not have to worry about the children at home.
